Chapter 86: The Python King’s Attack, Holy Blessing!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Green Python King raised its head and roared while its huge body swayed about wildly. While it taunted him, Li Yi did not care too much about it. He casually tanked the damage and continued to launch multiple attacks!
“-2,312!”
“-2,900!”
“-1,031!”
“...”
Li Yi’s HP was dropping rapidly from the Python’s attacks. However, his HP recovery speed was quick enough to replace the lost HP. Even if he was hit by the boss countless times, he could still withstand it.
On the other hand, the Green Python King’s health bar had already dropped below 40% under Li Yi’s relentless attacks, which had traded damage for damage!
However, everyone knew that the Green Python King has yet to activate any of its special skills.
Clutch King had long since run back to continue scraping at the boss’s eyes. Behind him, Snow Chaser would occasionally cast a Halo Spell from time to time to interrupt the boss’s attack, give Li Yi a buff, and throw a Fireball Spell or other spells to deal damage.
Finally, after nearly five minutes of intense battle, the Green Python King’s HP finally bottomed out. Thereafter, the system’s cold voice rang.
[System Notification: The Green Python King’s HP has decreased by less than 10%. It will now activate the boss skill. After the Green Python King’s attack is activated, all attributes will be reduced by 20%!]
“It’s going to use its ultimate skill.”
Li Yi called for Clutch King to retreat while he himself hurriedly ran back as well.
There was still a bit of time before the three main damage skills — Raging Blood Roar, Critical Strike, and Charge — could be used to directly kill the boss before it could reactivate its skills.
After they successfully retreated, the dazzling green hexagram array appeared under the boss yet again.
The light glowed as if it was attracting something and the surrounding elements quickly gathered below.
“Sh*t bro, that doesn’t look too good.”
The gathering of the elements formed a storm, and the violent wind made Clutch King, a Fast-attack Warrior, look like a frail thin twig ready to snap.
Li Yi looked at the increasingly bright hexagram array, and the corners of his mouth twitched as he said snappily, “You don’t have to say it like that, kid. I’m not blind. It’s a little hard to deal with random things you say while also fighting a boss here.”
Li Yi’s head started throbbing from the oncoming attack. Judging from the scale of this move, if nothing unexpected happens, the attack it releases will be enough to kill the three of them instantly.
Of course, this was because Li Yi’s HP had dropped by more than half after the battle. Otherwise, he was sure that he could still take it head-on.
Listening to the exchange between the two of them, Snow Chaser drank a bottle of Mana Potion from her backpack and quickly gained the attention of the boys.
“Carefree Dream, I’ve recovered my mana. My current mana is 321 points. I can use my Holy Healing skill.
“This skill can guarantee that our HP will only drop to 1% and we won’t die. The duration lasts for 8 seconds.”
“Well...” Li Yi rubbed his chin and thought for a while before continuing, “let’s see how it goes. We’ll use it when the boss’s skill arrives. By the way, this skill doesn’t take long before it’s cast, right?”
Snow Chaser shook her head, “Yeah, it doesn’t take long. It’s almost an instant-cast!”
“Nice.”
The two of them had just finished chatting when the light from the magic hexagram beneath the Green Python King became incomparably bright. It was as if the surrounding area had turned into daytime, and it illuminated the environment to the point you could see everything!
“Retreat a little further!”
Li Yi shouted loudly, and the three of them quickly retreated once again.
Once they reached a distance far enough from the boss, only then did they stop.
After a while, an angry roar resounded through the sky. The Green Python King bared its fangs and foul-smelling saliva dripped down. The fangs suddenly flashed dark green, and streams of mist gathered, forming a sphere visible to the naked eye.
The sphere was filled with mist, and after it appeared, an indescribable stench filled the air. At that moment, the surrounding leaves withered, the trees rotted quickly, and the ground turned muddy.
“Holy sh*t...” Clutch King coughed as he brought his hand to cover his mouth.
Beside him, Li Yi’s mouth twitched, and he said anxiously, “Snow Chaser, get ready to use your skills!”
Snow Chaser gripped the magic staff in her hand rightly. Looking at her opponent, cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.
Right as she was about to respond to Li Yi, the Green Python King moved!
The Green Python King swept its eyes across the three players with anger and murderous intent. It then slithered over and aimed its mouth at the three of them. At that moment, the terrifying ball of mist was released and a booming sound ensued!
In a blink of an eye, a terrifying aura flew towards the three of them at a speed of light that was difficult for mere humans to comprehend!
When it came closer, a golden light suddenly burst out from Snow Chaser’s magic staff as an intense golden light enveloped the three of them. A holy aura spread out as the withered vegetation around them began to regain its former self under the illumination of the golden light.
Life was once again restored around them!
Suddenly, the terrifying green ball of light smashed onto the three of them.
“-39,233!”
“-31,231!”
“-26,131!”
“-1,400! Poison Damage!”
“-1,500! Poison Damage!”
“-14,000! Poison Damage!”
[System Notification: Warning, you have been hit by the Green Python King’s attack. You are now affected by the toxic. You will also lose 10% of your health every 5 seconds!]
“This damage, holy sh*t! This is insane!”
Clutch King’s eyes widened as he looked in disbelief at the numbers kept floating above his head.
“It can’t be helped. This boss is part of a chain quest, and its skills will definitely deal a lot more damage before it dies. This is how Divine Revelation works.”
Li Yi said helplessly. He had an inkling feeling that something like that would have happened.
“Good thing Carefree Dream gave me this skill, otherwise we would have been dead by now.”
Snow Chaser patted herself on the back and nodded at the other two.
Right now, they only have 1% of their HP left. Luckily, the boss’s skill had a toxic effect of only five seconds. Otherwise, if it went past 8 seconds, they all would be in trouble.
[System Notification: The Green Python King has entered a weakened state. All attributes have been reduced by 20%!]
Once the system’s voice sounded, Li Yi’s eyes instantly lit up as he looked at the worn-out boss.
“I’ve got a plan. You guys wait for me here, okay? I’ll go and kill it.”
After saying that, Li Yi held Deaths Descent in his hand and charged towards the boss. Li Yi was very familiar with the tactical advantage he has over the boss based on his former life’s experiences.
A ray of light covered Li Yi’s body as he ran. It was the buff spell that Snow Chaser had just cast!
Li Yi’s footsteps rode along with the wind as he arrived before the weakened boss in a short while.
The Green Python King’s eyes were filled with rage. Even though it was extremely weak at this moment, it still raised its tail and tried to smash Li Yi!
Li Yi noticed the Python King’s feeble attempt to attack. The corner of his mouth curled up into a disdainful smile. Compared to before, its attack was now as slow as a turtle’s crawl. It would be impossible for him to get hit now!
“Critical Strike!
“-23,133! Critical Hit!”
A golden black light burst out from Deaths Descent right after he slashed out. Then, a brutal sword aura struck the boss. In an instant, the boss’s health bar was cleared to zero!
[System Notification: You have killed a Level 29 Green Python King (boss). Obtained 100,000 experience points.]
[Talent Triggered: Obtained 1,300 HP, 13 HP Recovery/second]
The system notification rang out when the boss finally died!
They ignored the system notification as they were distracted by a crisp sound… it was the sound of the boss dropping loot!
Golden light flickered on the corpse of the boss, and Clutch King and Snow Chaser immediately went over.
“Holy sh*t! Bro the boss dropped some things!”
Clutch King was so excited that his face and ears turned red. His eyes shined as he stared fixedly at the golden light. He could not wait to know what equipment would drop.
The dazzling light gradually faded away, and Li Yi’s eyes turned to look at Snow Chaser. He remembered when she opened the loot box last time with a favorable outcome.
So he said, “Snow Chaser, do you want to try touching that light?”
“Huh?”
Snow Chaser was stunned, and she tilted her head in a daze.
“Quickly use your self-proclaimed Midas Touch to touch it. You might give it luck and we might get good items.”
Li Yi said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Snow Chaser’s beautiful eyes blinked slightly. She understood what he meant and was excited to find out too. She rolled up her sleeves, and patted her chest confidently.
“Leave it to me. I’ll show you all the meaning of true luck today!”
Under everyone’s anticipation, Snow Chaser raised her head and puffed out her chest. She walked in front of the golden light and stretched out her hand. When in contact, the dazzling golden light instantly dissipated.
A green staff with many patterns engraved on it fell to the ground.
